Additional Junjo Information
|
Junjo boasts an unusual format: A young American woman playing bass and singing wordless vocals with the accompaniment of a Cuban pianist and drummer. But 22-year-old Esperanza Spalding, an Oregon native who teaches at Boston's Berklee College of Music, is so confident in her multiple roles (she also produced the album, released on a Spanish label) and the music goes down so easily, all awareness of her band's makeup quickly fades. With their lighter-than-air quality, the tunes sometimes recall early Return to Forever (an association underlined by the inclusion of a Chick Corea composition) and her playing boasts the warm, richly amplified quality favored by many young bassists. But with pianist Aruan Ortiz stretching and shaping the melodies, Junjo is winningly personal. In addition to several originals by Spalding, alone or in collaboration with Ortiz or her drummer, Francisco Mela, it includes a smart and playful reworking of Jimmy Rowles' classic, "The Peacocks." --Lloyd Sachs

What Customers Say About Junjo:

What will she be like in 10 years. Creative yet listenable. If she is, then music will be fine. This young lady (emphasis on young) is just such a ball of exuberance and energy and it comes through in her music (playing and vocals).
I look forward to whatever she puts out in the future. When you hear her sing and play it's hard to believe you're listening to someone as young as she is. It hard to imagine what levels she will achieve if her beginning is any indication. I had been told about this young lady approximately 6-8 months before I actually listened to her CD. She will definitely become one of my favorite artists. She is absolutely incredible in her playing and singing for her age and the type of music (jazz) she sings. When I heard her I could not believe it. I bought this CD and her latest CD, "Esperanza" and I simply fell in love with her.
Absolutely and highly recommended for jazz lovers. Spalding not just play bass as an angel, she sing as another angel. This a really fantastic jazz Cd. Mrs.
In fact, she will appeal to those who don't often listen to jazz, but who love good music. A true dichotomy: Some of the best smooth, tough, calming and energizing music that speaks to my heart, mind and body. Esperanza is a true gift to all who enjoy jazz.
I was instantly a fan from the first song. I just happened on this artist as a recommendation while buying other music on Amazon.
